Question

on the prior screen, you had 150 kg of wheels, 500 kg of seats, 200 kg of engines, and 2,000 kg of controls and could not determine how many cars could be built with these materials. what information do you need to answer the problem when only the total mass of components is given? the mass of one of each type of component masses in pounds rather than kilograms the material each component is made from the chemical reactions used to make each component the number of moles of each component

Explanation:

To determine the number of cars that can be built, we need to know how much of each component (wheels, seats, engines, controls) is required per car. This is equivalent to knowing the mass of one of each type of component. Masses in pounds (instead of kilograms) would not help as the unit conversion doesn't give component - per - car information. The material of the component and the chemical reactions used to make it are irrelevant to calculating the number of cars from component masses. The number of moles is also not useful here as we are dealing with mass - based component quantities for car - building.

Answer:

The mass of one of each type of component
